Dallas, Texas - November 5, 2025 - McKay Law (McKayLawtx.com), a leading Texas personal injury law firm, today announced the publication of an in-depth white paper examining wrongful death claims in Texas. The comprehensive research document provides essential guidance for families dealing with the devastating aftermath of losing a loved one due to negligence or wrongful conduct.
The white paper, titled "Wrongful Death in Texas: A Comprehensive Guide to Legal Rights, Remedies, and Recovery," addresses the intricate legal landscape surrounding wrongful death cases in the Lone Star State, offering clarity on statutory requirements, eligible claimants, recoverable damages, and the claims process.
"Losing a family member is traumatic enough without having to navigate complex legal procedures," said Lindsey McKay, founding partner at McKay Law. "This white paper is our commitment to demystifying the wrongful death claims process and ensuring Texas families understand their rights during the most difficult time of their lives."
Key Findings and Insights:
The white paper explores critical aspects of Texas wrongful death law, including:
- Eligible Claimants: Detailed analysis of who can file wrongful death claims under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 71, including surviving spouses, children, and parents
- Statute of Limitations: Critical timeframes that families must observe to preserve their legal rights
- Recoverable Damages: Comprehensive breakdown of economic and non-economic damages available to surviving family members
